The Neck Project (and ancillary body parts)

I have noted elsewhere that I rarely photograph people, although I
discovered many images of people in my old negatives. I have decided therefore
to overcome this issue by concentrating on one aspect of the human anatomy, the
neck. Thusfar I have mostly been extracting necks from existing images and
added a few recent images.

For the most part the images are somewhat abstract. I found that adding
additional grain created the impression of sand dunes (and also covered up
inadequacies in the originals!)

An image from an old photo (I was about 17) of a girl whose name was, I
think, Valerie.

This was from another negative taken when I first went to university in
London.

Keith Ellison, also seen full face on another page.

Increasingly abstract.

This also.

At last a recent digital image. Taken at the Walk to Cure Cancer, UMass
Hospital 2008.
